Make snack time into measuring time and learn to read Nutrition Facts labels. Try this when you’re using “pourable” foods, such as cereal, yoghurt, or juice.

In this biology activity, learners recreate the process of digestion in a zip lock bag. A bit of soda pop added to some crumbled crackers approximates how acids in the stomach dissolve food.

Use this activity to build division and number sense into any snack time or whenever there is a limited set of things to share among a group: If we deal these out, could everyone get two pieces?

In this chemistry activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners will see that chewing is more than just the crushing up of food; there is actually a chemical change going on at the same time.

In this activity, learners explore how eating unhealthy food can damage a heart and arteries.

In this activity (12th on the page), learners investigate their ability to discriminate (see) different colors.

This is a quick activity that shows how large amounts of rock and sediment are added to the edge of continents during subduction.

In the kitchen, learners can perform their own density investigation.

In this science trick, learners get an egg to stand-up on its long-axis vertical to a table's top.

Do grapes, yes the grapes from the grocery store, move in the presence of a very strong magnet?

In this hands-on activity, learners explore static electricity through the use of common household products. They also explore the connection between static electricity and cold weather.

In this simple exploratory activity (1st activity on the page), blindfolded learners try to identify mystery items by smell.

In this activity (last activity on the page), learners make a model of the eardrum (also called the "tympanic membrane") and see how sound travels through the air.

In this chemistry demonstration, learners investigate the factors that increase the rate of dissolution for a solid.

In this optics activity, learners explore how they can make gelatin stop light, but not stop them from seeing fruit suspended within.

In this activity, learners use a flashlight, a glass of water, and some milk to examine why the sky is blue and sunsets are red.

Learners observe a bottle containing water and oil. They are invited to pick up the bottle and mix the contents together.

Take the two-straw challenge and discover how pressure affects vacuums! In this activity, learners experiment with drinking through one and two straws, comparing the amount of liquid they can drink.

In this activity, learners discover that as the salinity of water increases, the density increases as well. Learners prove this by attempting to float fresh eggs in saltwater and freshwater.
